Lake Glenville Real Estate

Located just a few miles north of Cashiers lies the crystal clear waters of beautiful Lake Glenville.

Each summer, thousands of people vacation along its 26 miles of sandy shorelines and enjoy the beautiful waterfalls which feed into the lake. Lake Glenville encompasses 1.435 acres and is situated along the Continental Divide with the highest elevation for a man-made lake this side of the Mississippi River.

Several large streams feed the lake with water, including Hurricane Creek, Mill Creek, Cedar Creek, Norton Creek and Pine Creek. Originally named Thorpe Reservoir, Lake Glenville generated power in World War II to support aluminum production for the war effort. The project began service in October 1941 and is now regulated by Duke Energy.
